  《讀故事記單詞雅思詞匯》--arbitrary-ascertain

  An ancient arena

  Welcome you students to this site. Based on the archaeological evidence and artifacts we have found so far, we can ascertain that there was once a great arena here. Those arches over there were the main entrances and these articles that we found over there is the type once worn by gladiators. Take a look at them. The color is still bright because none of the dyes used then were artificial; they were well processed and obviously permanent.

  Now if we look at the land closer we can see that that area where the land slopes up is where the gladiators would ascend to greet the leader of the tournament. For many gladiators that was their last ascent ever, they would never arise again.

  This array of arbitrary items and weapons found here in the center of the arena arouses the idea in me that the battle was arduous. Note how many are broken.

  We can also see from these seeds that we can detect in lower layers of the soil, that aromatic spices were used as part of the celebration and spread throughout the arena. This area was quite dry even back then; these seeds must have come from a much more arboreal area. Other similar archaeological sites have seeds and artifacts from as far as the arctic region.

  You may wonder why I can be so articulate, confident and ardent about this information. Well, I'm not being arrogant, this area was simply a main artery of civilization and there are many other similar sites that I have researched all of my life.

  古代競(jìng)技場(chǎng)

  歡迎同學(xué)們來(lái)到這個(gè)遺址。根據(jù)我們迄今發(fā)現(xiàn)的考古學(xué)證據(jù)和手工藝品，我們可以確定，這里曾經(jīng)有一個(gè)大競(jìng)技場(chǎng)。那邊那些拱形物是主要入口，而我們?cè)谀莾赫业降?span style="color:#FF9900;">物品是角斗士們?cè)?jīng)穿過(guò)的衣服。大家看一下，衣服的顏色還很鮮亮，因?yàn)楫?dāng)時(shí)使用的染料都不是人造的，而且它們都經(jīng)過(guò)了很好的加工，顯然是永不褪色。

  現(xiàn)在，如果我們更加仔細(xì)地觀察一下這塊地，就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)那個(gè)向上傾斜的地方就是過(guò)去角斗士走上去向大賽領(lǐng)導(dǎo)致敬的地方。對(duì)很多角斗士來(lái)說(shuō)，那是他們最后一次登高，因?yàn)樗麄冊(cè)僖膊粫?huì)出現(xiàn)了。

  在競(jìng)技場(chǎng)中心發(fā)現(xiàn)的任意這一批物品和武器都會(huì)在我心中激發(fā)了這樣一種想法：角斗士們經(jīng)歷了艱苦的搏斗。注意看損壞了的東西是多少。

  我們還可以從在土壤下層發(fā)現(xiàn)的這些種子看出，當(dāng)時(shí)人們?cè)趹c?；顒?dòng)中使用了有香味的調(diào)料，并把它們?nèi)霰榱苏麄€(gè)競(jìng)技場(chǎng)。即使在當(dāng)時(shí)，這個(gè)地區(qū)也很干燥，這些種子準(zhǔn)是來(lái)自有更多樹(shù)木的地區(qū)。其他類(lèi)似的考古學(xué)遺址還發(fā)現(xiàn)了最遠(yuǎn)來(lái)自習(xí)北極地區(qū)的種子和手工藝品。

  你們可能會(huì)奇怪我為什么能把這些信息說(shuō)得如此清晰、自信而又充滿熱情。并不是我自大，這地區(qū)的確是文明的一根主動(dòng)脈，而且在我的一生當(dāng)中，我還研究過(guò)許多其他類(lèi)似的遺址。
